I love this guy - he's my idol! Seeing him sit at the table with his baggy football shirt and jeans, listening to headphones, playing his game. It's just so cool!

Phil is a very great player..< Keep it up and watch out for me in the future>

Phil Ivey is THE BEST poker player you can find. He is impossible to read and he took my stupid ass out at the 2003 world series of poker. When he gives you that stare you know your fucked, and he plays 7 fucking 2 offsuit like they are aces. GODDAMN. He deserves to win this 2005 world series of fucking poker. I love the guy.

If I was gonna copy a guys game it would definelty be phil ivey, he is one of the most solid players out there

He is a pretty good player but he plays to tight at time. I good take him! HAHA

Is Phil Mexican? His skin-tone is that of a Hispanic person. I know he ain't no thug. I think his dad is white and his mom is Mexican. I might be wrong. Peace out PD Stud King

Dirk he would clean u out. You would have no fucking chance whatsoever.

Phil's the coolest player on the circuit, but far from the best.

Could very well be the MOST overrated player on the circuit!

phil ivey got a rugrat's hey arnold head, hahaha

hands down one of the best 10,000 players in the tournament(and foxwoods)

It's nice to know there are so many people here who are apparently better than Phil. Because, I see a lot of comments about his flaws. Obviously he's better than anyone here unless we have a pro on the board.

Matt is that you dawg? You had me beat last time we played!

Yeah Phil, but you played a decent game, I mean it's like some of these fine gentlemen were saying above you shove your cards in too much.

Well, you were supposed to give me another lesson.

Yeah dude, wait till I get some time, and I'll show you something about pot odds etc...

Best player alive in the world. Best players of all time list: 1. Stu Ungar (had the best instincts in the world)2. Phil Ivey (2nd already, may pass Ungar some day) 3. Phil Hellmuth (already 3rd, is going to hold many WSOP records for a long time once Chan and Dolly are gone, unless Ivey takes that over shortly)(really annoying though) 4. Doyle Brunson (the legend, began the way we play poker and is still playing great poker, WPT title, WSOP title for 2005) 5. Chau Giang (great in cash games, actually the BEST)*Daniel Negreanu is hot right now, but I need to see more of him to pass these greats. However, his world series has been terrible from what I hear. I would rate him in the top 10.I can't see how anyone could exclude Ivey from the "GREATS" list.

he was on the wsop tv on tuesday because he plays poker good or some thing yea ok bye all u nice ppl well tata

phil is a GREAT poker player. he is so intimidating, how he stares ppl down. and he is really aggressive too. but to call him the greatest, i dont know. i think the greatest is beetween Ungar,Brunson,Chan, and Hellmuth

and slim, forgot about him

who dosent love the dark meat! slurp

Barry Greenstein and Howard Lederer both say he's one of the top 5 players in the world, if not THE best all-around player.

how good is ivy?? a great pro like greenstein notices he isnt in a pl omaha and wakes him up becauce he is one of the worlds best. so what does he do? wins the whole thing thats pretty amazing in my book. the best say hes the best

Phil Ivey is very impressive. If you had the tv on of an event he is playing in and turned it on to mute, you'd never knew if he was the chip leader or the short stack. I think that says a lot. He always has that look and demeanor no matter what is going on around him.

As his sister i never read these comments because some of them are mean and nasty, however thank you all for the support and wonderful things you have said about him. As for those who dont like him, you dont know him, he is one of the best people I know

this guy is amazing, the best no limit poker player ou there, u will here of him as the greatest.

Phil Ivery - Wsop 2005 All The Way Baby! U Can Do It! Show All Those Ultimatebet Satellite-winning Fat Fucks How Its Done!

I started playing poker in AC (Taj Mahal) in 1998 and I used to see Phil Ivey play during 98-99. I never saw him get up with a rack of chips when he left; He would always lose. This is confirmed in the book "Aces and Kings" via Cindy Olivette who says he was just "experimenting." According to that book, he only had one job ( a telemarketing job for 3weeks) his whole life. How does someone without a solid job history or education get the money to lose at poker? Its obvious to any reasonable person he's a trust fund baby. Even the live game he play at the Bellagio is all against the same people, thus, half will lose and half will win all the time, so he isn't earning money (winning more money than you lose) while playing live games. He's no different than all those other dopes in AC. How come he doesn't allow a reporter to follow him around for a year to document his loses? Poker is not a profession and its not a sport, its gambling, and Phile Ivey loses more than he wins, just like every other gambler!

Yo English Cat...hit me up through email if you'd like. Dont know Phil Ivey, but he is the best out there right now and my all time favorite. I have something that would like to give him. So email me if you'd like. Would love to send it. Its Nice.

What u dont realise is that u can earn big money in poker tournaments, like over half a million just for a 10k buy-in for example. Ivey is currently in the top 10 of the final 60 at the wsop main event, and could easily receive a 1 million dollar payout or better just for a $10,000 buy-in amount. Thats a pretty damn good return, and only comes about through poker skill and yes, some luck as well. So he may not do well at cash games, which u can easily lose thousands in one hit, but he's an excellent tournament player and can sustain a living making tournament final tables. You see the difference now?
